Could the article listing be more intuitive and interactive, with possibility of listing alphabetically or submission date or author (don't know about all the options, but alphabetical and submission date are important to editors).

A single command action could create the listing for the editor. Organizing the TOC manually, especially with large issues or when publishing past issues the process may become cumbersome and not pleasant at all...

We've briefly discussed adding an AJAX-based tool to help organize things like the Table of Contents with something like a drag-and-drop interface; it's not a priority yet but I can foresee it becoming important over the next few releases.

Hi,
I allocate page numbers in the order that articles are finalised, then publish the articles immediately. The problem is that in Scheduling, when I publish an article, the article by default is put at the top of the table of contents, whereas I want it at the bottom. I consequently am swapping each and every article, step by step, from the top of the table of contents to the bottom. This is extremely onerous. Is there a way to get each article added to the bottom of the table of contents?

For example, I publish proceedings of conferences in OJS and there might be n=80 articles published which means I have to do a total of about n^2/2=3,200 swaps to get the table of contents in order.

OJS 2.1.1 should be adding new articles to the bottom of the section's set of articles. What version of OJS are you using? If you are using version 2.1.1, could you describe the process you're following, i.e. are you scheduling articles against published issues, or is this before they're published?

The most recent release, OJS 2.1.1, adds new articles to the bottom of the TOC. There is upgrade documentation in docs/UPGRADE, but briefly, the upgrade is a two-step process -- first you need to download and install the new code, and then you need to run the upgrade script to bring your database up-to-date. Make sure you back up your installation before beginning.
